Thanks! We're planning on a little outdoor BBQ right here, just a small group tomorrow, Saturday.

Quite a number of our friends happen to be out of state at the moment, especially those who throw the best naked pool parties, and our own pool isn't secluded enough for going suitless, so that aspect is out.

Not sure if we'll go out for fireworks at night, see what people want to do. Otherwise, I think just a cozy afternoon of BBQing and drinking with friends, maybe a dip or 2 in the pool.

Roast a weenie for us Yanks, will ya?

Thanks Bill - Doug,

I approve of this message! Too bad it's damn cold in Frisco I would do the same thing too.

Two other books for this day...

March of Folly by Barbara Tuchman.

One episode is about how the British mismanaged the American colonies.

Twice a winner of the Pulitzer Prize, author Barbara Tuchman now tackles the pervasive presence of folly in governments through the ages. Defining folly as the pursuit by governments of policies contrary to their own interersts, despite the availability of feasible alternatives, Tuchman details four decisive turning points in history that illustrate the very heights of folly in government: the Trojan War, the breakup of the Holy See provoked by the Renaissance Popes, the loss of the American colonies by Britain's George III, and the United States' persistent folly in Vietnam. THE MARCH OF FOLLY brings the people, places, and events of history magnificently alive for today's reader.


Friends of Liberty: A Tale of Three Patriots, Two Revolutions, and the Betrayal that Divided a Nation: Thomas Jefferson, Thaddeus Kosciuszko, and Agrippa Hull by Gary Nash and Graham Hodges

"Using the lives of people as seemingly disparate as a president of the United States, a Polish hero of revolutions on two continents and a free black man in America to frame their story, Gary Nash and Graham Hodges have fashioned a fast-paced, informative narrative that sheds fresh light on the complicated issues of slavery, serfdom and basic human rights during the first generation of America's national existence. The linchpin in this triumvirate was the Pole Tadeusz Kosciuszko whose enlightened relationship with his black orderly, Agrippa Hull, and close friendship with Thomas Jefferson allows the authors to move skillfully between such varied discussions as explaining the black experience in colonial and Revolutionary America, the slavery issue in the early American republic, serfdom in Poland, and the meaningful relationship between Kosciuszko and Jefferson that has been heretofore neglected by the latter's biographers. In the process, they illuminate the origins and arguments of the early anti-slavery organizations in America, provide a detailed account of the life of Agrippa Hull, and a masterly treatment of the seeming of Jefferson's personal struggle with the slavery issue. Focusing, as they do, on the issues of freedom and liberty, Nash and Hodges provide through they eyes of the three protagonists the varied perspectives so often missing from traditional political histories. Their book should make for excellent reading for scholars and classrooms alike."

It is unbelievable to me what Jefferson did! Simply unbelievable! ...

(Thanks, meninlove!)

For KissingPro and for kscott6671,

HAPPY 4TH!
